Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Hakkı Bey began in Sivas in 1881/82 (AH 1299). At about 17, in 1899/1900, İsmail Hakkı began work, on a first salary of 190 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1899/1900, with İsmail Hakkı as telgraf memuru vekili and no place named. Next came Yıldızeli (Yenihan) in 1902/03. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Koyulhisar as müfredat katibi.

Pay rose from 190 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 270 in 1902/03, in Yıldızeli, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 10,320 kuruş, 52 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
